#39774: PHP 7.1 warning during upload of file with the same name: Approved for merge from 4.8 to 4.7.3. @sergeybiryukov to handle it.

#37140: Reset of rotation orientation when image is rotated: @mikeschroder tested, found fix for issue in tests. Reached out to @sanchothefat re: whether the current number of images being tested can be reduced to not slow down the tests. Otherwise, this looks ready.

#39550/#39552: Some Non-image files fail to upload after 4.7.1: @joemcgill to write up two possible solutions for the problem to address image files not properly validated with GD so that we can profile appropriately. There are performance concerns around adding ⁠⁠⁠⁠finfo_file() to all files uploaded.

#39875: PDF previews overwrite existing images with the same name: Worked through this in chat. @gitlost uploaded one approach to the ticket, with @desroj writing up another one based on our conversation in the meeting. Decision being that the filename saves should be handled in the same way that saves happen in the Media Gallery’s image editor. The problem is in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-admin/includes/image.php#L254, with pre-existing method in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-admin/includes/image-edit.php#L779.

This might qualify as exotic: http://bit.ly/29ZYZo9 . I call it “Remote Control WordPress” and it entails having a multisite install that exists for the sole purpose of broadcasting network settings values to the WP API, for other networks to query. If there were a handy way to make that control install only ever load network admin and the WP-API (to include oauth handling), that would probably be a nice performance gain for us.
